I find it very sad that Spain pulls it when 2 girls have reactions but the US keeps it going...

Perhaps Spain did not have such expensive and arduous campaigning methods that still need to be paid for.

I know there have been over 15 THOUSAND reports to VAERS here, and over THIRTY DEATHS and still nothing is being done.

Or a lost lawsuit to pay damages on. (Vioxx)

Awwww, too bad. What Spain DIDN't have was Sanjay Gupta ranting all over the airwaves as a media "consultant" on the values of Gardasil - and then everyone finding out that he was PAID by the manufacturers to push it... and STILL his opinion is considered valuable by the salivating and ignorant masses.

Ah, times like these I am glad I resisted all the urgings from my GYN to get this shot. What's with doctors pushing every imaginable product on the market(rhetorical statement)? I planned on waiting to see what panned out with Gardasil. It really is too bad especially considering the vast number of parents who had their daughters vaccinated...


This is just another example of how the FDA is a joke.

It was a BATCH the vaccine that was pulled....and low and behold, both girls (out of MILLIONS) who "fell ill" have pre-existing condtions...

UPDATE 1-Spain halts batch of Merck's Gardasil | Industries | Healthcare | Reuters
